Style History: DMX’s Many 2008 Mugshots
Oh, Earl, you’ve done it again. Yesterday DMX was arrested Miami, marking the 9,143rd time he’s had a mug shot taken in this year alone. After the confetti and balloons settled down, we pulled together some of jail flicks in hopes of reconstructing the Darkman’s style evolution in 2008…

Yet he never goes to jail?!?!?!!! To be fair, whatever is happening to his face on the outside is probably worse than what would happen on the inside…

Dmx is is part of a top secret nasa plan. If a huge rock from outer space comes towards earth and no lasers can destroy it we will launch DMX into space and he will smoke it to pieces.
